MSI P55-GD80 - POST and boot issues

So I built my previous custom rig about 7 months ago and have had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago. My computer began to restart itself and hardlock with no warning. The only indication of what was happening was an IDE Controller error - Eventid: 11 / Source: atapi (most likely HD Cables or Motherboard), so I went out and got a new MSi P55-GD80 mobo today and put it in my computer with a new 850w antec psu. When I boot the computer, it hangs at a black screen for a long period of time (3-8m) and eventually it manages to POST. It doesn't allow me to enter the BIOS setup menu because the motherboard never initializes the setup of USB and other devices (debug code 38). By the time the computer boots to Windows (if at all), the debug code reads 33 and will slowly revert back to debug code 30 over time. I am not able to do anything while in windows due to a lack of mouse and keyboard.It doesn't seem like the motherboard is initializing all of the correct processes before moving on to the next, and I've never seen a motherboard just sit without POSTing for minutes at a time until initiating the motherboard splash logo. Do I need to RMA this motherboard or do you guys have any other ideas?
P.S: Yes, I am booting with one stick of ram in the first black slot closest to the CPU (second slot).

My computer was previously using the ASUS P7P55D EVO motherboard. I had no issues until I started receiving the IDE controller errors that would freeze up my computer endlessly.
So basically I swapped to the new MSI P55-GD80 motherboard on a freshly formatted SSD and am now encountering these strange POST issues.
Here's a walkthrough of what is currently happening to the machine when powered on with 1 stick of RAM in DIMM slot #1, no drives connected, video card/cpu only:
1. Power button pushed.
• Computer powers on.
• Debug LED reads FF for 1 second
• Debug LED reads d4 for 1/2 second
• Debug LED reads d5 for 1/2 second
• Debug LED reads 04 for 1/8 second
• Debug LED reads 05 for 1/8 second
• Debug LED reads 06 for ~45 seconds
• Debug LED reads 0c for 3-5 minutes
2. The computer sometimes POSTs at this point, with the Debug LED reading anywhere from 30-38 (it changes randomly, sometimes backwards after a period of time), or continues to sit at a black screen until restart.
• It is still not possible to use any USB or PS2 devices at this point, so loading into the BIOS setup is not an option

  • MSI P55-GD80 Motherboard Problems

    Well i got the MSI P55-GD80 but the mobo was bad(so said the MSI representative i spoke to) the Intel Matrix Storage Manager is for SATA RAID and AHCI mode for the mobo drivers, wouldn't open it just kept saying an error has occurred and that the window needed to be closed, also when i turned my PC on, the white formating loading bar appeared everytime i turned it on(not that it was formating though), than the normal windows loading bar would load next as normal, the control center for the overclocking was kinda messed up too seance there is like 4 OC choices and they kept going crazy every time i would chose a mod, when i chose "cooling", power just shut off for the mobo, when i chose "game mod" PC just bluescreened me but only with the OC control center, also when i went on standby the HDD would be the only thing going on standby and the mobo(heatsink, fans, lights etc..) would stay on, eventually when i pressed the mouse and then the keyboard the HDD would boot up. The rest was fine, it even booted my 4GB ddr3 ram at its 1600MHz frequency and I'm using Windows XP-32bit, the ocgenie only got to 3.54GHz eventhought i have the Nirvana NV120 Premium from Zerotherm which is awsome for OC(temps were a constant 33*C idle when oc genie was on and 27*C Without OC-Genie) also the liveupdate would freeze on me on the third file and there was a total of like 8 update files didn't remember the names but it was for the mobo drivers. If anyone else has problems or issues with the MSI P55-GD80 motherboard please let me know.. or comment on this thanks... 

    Please post your full system specs and PSU spec amps. >>Posting Guide<<
    Have you tried reinstalling Windows?
    Do not use Live Update for updating of drivers, go to MSI site to see if you really require the updates, which are not a must most of the time. Also uninstall Live Update from your OS as well.

  • MSI 990FXA-GD80, POST error code 54

    I have just assembled a new system:
    M-Board: MSI 990FXA-GD80  (UEFI BIOS with factory version E7640 AMSB50, indicated by green label on BIOS chip)
    CPU: AMD Phneom II X6 1055T
    RAM: 2 x Crucial DDR3 1333MHz 8GB REG/ECC
    PSU: Fractal Design Newton R2 1000W PSU
    GPU: Asus GeForce EN8600GT Silent/HTDP 512MB
    I start the sytem and get 3 distinctive beeps from the speaker and error post code 54
    I have tried the following:
    1. Remove one RAM stick and start the system with just one RAM stick in slot DIMM1. Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    2. Removed the RAM sticks completely (in hope to get an error code indicating RAM is missing). Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    3. Switching the RAM sticks (DIMM1 <-> DIMM2). Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    4. Tried the processor on another board (ASUS) that I know works. The processor runs fine on the ASUS board.
    5. Activated the "Easy Button 3" Reset button. Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    6. Activated the CL_CMOS button at the Back Panel. Result Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    7. Clear Data position of Clear CMOS Jumper JBAT1 (with power disconnected),  and the back to Keep data position. Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    All fans are working OK. Everything seems to be correctly connected after double checks.
    Is there anything else I can do, without returning the MOBO to shop?  I guess I can not update the BIOS if I do not get passed the post?
    Anything else that can be wrong?
    I am greatful for any initiated help.

    No, I have not tried to boot the MOBO outside of the case. However I have come a little bit further:
    I bought a less expensive memory stick of just 2GB; Kingston RMD3-1333/2G and put this in the DIMM1 slot.
    With this memory the PC booted and completed the POST. This allowed me to download and flash the latest BIOS; 7640vB8 from MSI.
    I then turned off the PC and re-installed the 8GB Drucial memory stick in DIMM1. I then got the original problem back.
    My conclusion is that the 8GB memory from Crucial is not compatible with the MSI 990FXA-GD80 board and the Phenom II X6 processor.
    If anyone have any idea how I could get my memories from Crucial to work on the MOBO I would be grateful. I have paid dearly for them.
    Just saw this:

  • New MSI P55-GD80 build incredibly unstable

    Just got a new motherboard, CPU and ram, went with the MSI P55-GD80, Core i5 750 and Mushkin 1600 (7-7-7-20). Only problem is every build I have is incredibly unstable. At first when I was installing Windows it would continually freeze on the expanding files section. I read this may be do to a memory issue, so I used just one stick in DIM1. This worked to install but if I put in more than 1 stick I would re-experience freezes and crashes (also experienced them with one stick however). I ran MemTest for 5 passes each stick one at a time, then all 4 at once without any errors. I popped in my Vista 64 disk and was able to install Windows and drivers (with all 4 sticks utilized), though shortly thereafter I again began experiencing crashes (where PC completely reboots) and/or freezes. If audio is playing at the moment it freezes it continually replays the last note, only distorted. I think at this point a memory issue has been ruled out. But everything I try does not seem to produce a different result. I've tried switching out working components from other computers in to see if I have the same problems, and I do, with two different hard drives, cd drives, video cards, and sound card combinations. And furthermore I know from my last computer that all of my recycled components function normally as well.
    Also- Currently my case is open and my room is cool, temps on load rarely get about 40c.
    Rest of system:
    Corsair HX620 PSU (dedicated lines drawn to all components)
    1xRadeon 4800X2
    Seagate 500GB SATA, WD 640GB SATA, Sony Blu-Ray SATA

    Make sure that the command rate is manually set to 2T in BIOS Setup.
    Test with one memory module only (for the now) and see if that runs stable.

  • MSI Z68A-GD80(G3) and Corsair's New RAM

    Yeah, ok, it all looks great, but how do they work together outside of a test laboratory in a real world home built pc?
    That question was answered very quickly, without any special fiddling about required beyond normal setting changes.
    When the Corsair kit was installed, the usual 'Memory Has Changed' screen popped up. No big deal, a simple check in the UEFI/BIOS looked like everything defaulted to ensure a successful post and bootup. Yup, that's exactly what took place. Corsair took the right approach IMO to set the profile to default to DDR3 1333. At the next restart, it was a simple matter to set the manufacturer's recommended rated speed of 2133, CR 1, 9 11 10 27, tRFC 171 on Auto DRAM V. Posted and booted right up.
    Yeah, ok, how about if 8GB isn't enough RAM for me?
    Figured that might be a question asked. Here is the finding. To make it more real, often pc builders buy components at different times. This can be problematic, but that is best discussed on a case by case basis. Back to the answer. Purchased on purpose a kit from a different batch, even the serial numbers were way apart. After they were installed, the usual 'Mem. Change' screen again, but at F10 - Enter, it posted and booted right up! No increase of DRAM V. was required. In fact, with it set to Auto, the 'Read Only' actually shows the voltage to be 1.472v's (by meter, it was just below 1.50v's).
    Note that CPU-Z X.M.P. for this RAM shows wrong. In the UEFI/BIOS, Memory-Z, it shows correctly.
    Conclusion? I would say MSI mainboards and this RAM are going to work out just fine together.

    Quote from: Bernhard on 14-September-12, 11:14:44
    That formula may be a good rule of thumb, or may have worked with DDR and DDR2, but looking at JEDEC standard 1333, that would already be out. 9.9.9.24 is the standard. that would mean the 24 should be 20, which it's not. Maybe for OC'ing it may be an indicator of how far you can tighten them 
    These are all tweaks that probably cannot be realised anywhere else but in benchmarks and tests as performed here.   
    But its nice to compare similar or the same memory on similar platforms and see how close the performance figures are, yet highlight also how they differ, even at the same settings. Good to see for newbie OC'ers that even at the same settings, no two rigs will ever be the same.
    That makes sense, since I tried to look the article up again (from Mushkin actually), and the article appears to be so old, they took it down.
    It is quite surprising how close our bench results really are! It is also interesting how different systems with the same memory react to timings. Learned some good things in this thread, and once again, glad I made the purchase!

  • Serial Number of an MSI P55-GD80 That Uses a LOTES Socket

    Serial Number of an MSI P55-GD80 That Uses a LOTES Socket
    I bought my MSI P55-GD80 last October 26, 2009. I live in the Philippines
    Here is the Serial Number
    S/N: 601-7581-010B0908684483
    I once worked in a manufacturing company. I remember that serial numbers indicate their date of production
    I just don't know how to read the serial number of MSI P55 motherboards
    I hope there are guys here that can figure this out. I think there's a way to know if it uses a LOTES socket just by looking at the serial number

    Quote
    601-7581-010
    The "601" will usually be the same in all serial numbers.  "7581" is, of course, the model number and "010" is the ERP-Number, which will be the same for each exemplar of the same mainboard type/model.
    If there is a production date encoded in the serial number (which I am not sure of), it has to be part of this sequence:
    Quote
    B0908684483
    The "09" could indicate the year of production.  I have a board here which I bought in 2006 (975X Platinum PUE) and the respective part of the above number is "K06" here.  Another board I have (P45 Neo2) was bought in 2008 and the serial number contains "K08" in the above spot.
    Again, I am not sure about this, I am just speculating.  There is usually also an EAN-Number and a UPC-A number on the product sticker, which may contain further clues regarding the production date.
    Maybe we can make more sense out of this once we have a few other (older and newer) serial numbers to compare.
    Perhaps we can get some users to share this kind of information, so that on the long run, we will be able to say if there is a relation between serial numbers, production date and Socket Type (and not just random use of different sockets).

  • MSI P55-GD80 Wont start.

    First my computer startet but dident show any screen picture.
    But now it wont start at all? I have tried the case button and the "START" Touch button on the motherboard.
    I have also tried with a scredriver så the PWR pins.
    Wont start?
    What can the problem be?

    DIMM 1 and 3 is the Black DIMM slots. so be sure to put your memory there. 
    hope it works with you.

  • MSI P55-GD80 - G. Skill Ripjaws 2x2GB DDR3 1600 runs at 1333 MHz only

    I just bought my Core i5 setup yesterday. I'm satisfied with its performance.
    The problem is that I can only run my G. Skill Ripjaws 2x2GB DDR3 1600 at 1333 MHz. I checked the Cell Menu. The highest DRAM ratio is 5. Setting it at 5 makes it run at 1333 MHz only
    I have read the manual of my MSI P55-GD80. It states that it supports DDR3 1600 MHz
    How can I run my DDR3 memory at 1600 MHz? BIOS update?
    My current BIOS version is 1.4

    Quote from: cdcellular on 27-October-09, 17:43:29
    I lowered my muliplier to 13 (200x13) to acheive 2.6ghz on the processor, but, at this setting now the processor is running 10-15c hotter then at the 133x20 default setting, and yes im using aftermarket cooling.  Why the extra heat at the same clock frequency?
    You must set the CPU and VTT Voltage lower.
    Example for 2600Mhz(200x13) CPU-Mhz and very low temperatures ->
      In CellMenue:
    - Load Optimized defaults
    - First u must set LoadlineCalibration in Bios to disabled ! ... in the next bios generations it calls Vdroopcontrol(set to LowVdroopcontrol)
    - Turbo disabled
    - Try VTT from 1,2V to 1,351 V- For higher BCLK(200..stock is 133) u need higher VTT-VOLTAGE as stock (lower VTT lower temps for the memory controler) ..use later the lowest possible VTT-VOLTAGE when u make any stability tests
    - BLCK 200 x CPU Multiplier 13 = about CPU 2600Mhz ...RAM u can use now @ 2000Mhz with memory multiplier 5
    - Now set the lowest possible CPU-Voltage in bios for stable usage with your own CPU! Thats the trick.Undervolting the CPU for lower temps an power consumption as stock !
    - Try 1V to 1,024V CPU Voltage in bios for 2,6Ghz(good choice for the newest I5/7 ). Howto->  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127944.0
    Use programs like Linx 0.6.4 to test the stability of your Sys. Howto and download--> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=201670
    Now u see temps are down (normal usage SYS). Lower CPU-VCore and VTT lower temps. Higher CPU-VCore and VTT higher temps. 
    My CPU:
    My I5-750 runs with 1,012V CPU-Voltage bios setting @ 2,8Ghz on P55-GD80. Stock the CPU has 1,264V VCore.
    Now I have 25-30watts less vs stock(full LOAD SYS)  and very,very low temps - IDLE and LOAD usage .
    Be sure that the 4 first GreenPower settings are @ AUTO.

  • MSI P55-GD80 socket type

    I was thinking of gettting the MSI P55-GD80 motherboard for my next build.  However, I cam across this article today:
    http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3661
    It notes damage to the 1156 socket.  Granted, this seems to be only on extreme overclocks.  However, the pin contact issue is what concerns me.  Maybe these are fine now with light overclocking, but, will this be an issue down the road? This only seems to affect the foxconn sockets.  There is some mention that the GD80 may use a Lotes socket.
    Could anyone from MSI comment on this?  Do all P55-GD80 motherboards use a Lotes Socket?

  • Problematic Motherboard MSI Z68a GD80 (B3) and bad customer service

    I opened a support ticket at MSI's support site (http://support.msi.com/index.php?mod=questions&dop=reply_list&question_no=102573)  and still waiting for a response since last week.     Not only that, but there is no way you can talk to customer support and you can only submit tickets online.   What if your PC is not working because of the MSI motherboard?  How is then the customer able to talk to customer support?!  eh!!!?!?!???
    To describe the issues I experience I will copy-paste some of the info from my existing support ticket....
    Recently I noticed that my new PC's performance degraded considerably, without me having made any changes to its settings, software or hardware. After extensive testing I realised that the RAM was faulty so I replaced it with new DIMMs which I tested again and work correctly. However after replacing with new RAM  (memeory is in the "approved" list of the motherboard) the PC's performance is still very slow, especially when it comes to hard disk access. So I tested all, memory, hard disks (checkdisk, defrag, and also used WesternDigital utilities to check all disks) and all tests came back fine. I also checked all BIOS settings and re-installed all Motherboard drivers to ensure that the issue was not due to a damaged driver file. But none made a difference. So given that everything appears to be working correctly and all tests for individual components come back as normal, I uspect that it's the motherboard to blame.
    In addition to the above the PC has now started behaving strange too: when rebooting pc restarts..and then turns off and then on again and off again. ...or it restarts but then does not boot at all.  Just now i turned it off and then on again and the pc behaves as if it boots up but nothing is showing on the screen. not even the bios.
    Once, when i turned on the PC and when logged into windows I got a popup saying "you have booted from your second BIOS rom. Please update your BIOS using Live Update". I then went to live update and it said i am running the latest BIOS.
    The issues exist also outside the OS.  I also tried to boot from Norton Ghost DVD and take a backup from there and see the backup speed (which normally takes an hour). It took 2-7 times more, depending on the PC's "mood". I also tried booting from a DVD into Windows PE (pre-installation environment) and tried to take a disk backup from there too.   Same issue everywhere.
    I did various tests with Western Digital to eliminate the hard disk, and all come out fine.  I even formatted the hard drive (low level format) and reinstalled a fresh OS.  The problem was still there and the mouse pointed would stutter when the disk was active.
    Another thing I noticed which might help: sometimes disk to pc/disk-over-network file copying works at a reasonable speed. But local-disk to local-disk copying is very slow and affects the mouse pointer and overall pc performance.
    I use this PC for business so it's critical that this is fixed asap or that I am sent a replacement motherboard promptly before I send this one back so that I am not left without a working PC.
    Any suggestions?
    My spec:
        * CPU brand, model and speed:   Intel i7 i2600K 2.5 GHz
        * Motherboard model:  MSI Z68a GD80 (B3)
        * Memory brand, type/speed, size, number of sticks:   Kingston KHX1333C9D3B1K2/4G  (2 sticks x 2 Gb each.  total of 4gb)
        * Video card brand, chipset type, memory size:  XFX 7600GT 256MB
        * Hard drive(s) brand, size, type, speed:  Westerd Digital Velociraptor 600Gb
        * Operating system and version (including if 32 or 64bit!):   Windows XP SP3 32bit
        * Power Supply Unit brand and output in watts and DC output (amps) - OCZ 650W

  • MSI 990FXA-GD80 (MS-7640) Raid issues

    I'm trying to reinstall my windows 7 64 bit on my MSI 990FXA-GD80 (MS-7640) in raid mode. When I'm in the installer and try to add the raid drivers it lists my controller but then BSODs right after loading the driver and yes I used the driver from the MB CD not to mention a number of others. One thing I noticed is that the drivers I found didn't exactly match the option ROM version on my board (3.3.1540.14) closest I found was either .13 or .17. Also when I went into the raid setup and tried to make a JBOD it spit out an error message saying I needed to select two disks to do that operation????? I work with a lot of different raid adapters and I've not seen that one
    So any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You

  • MSI P55-GD65 Freezing and BSOD Problem?

    Hello I got a weird problem with my new PC, I bought some new components to my PC (I5 750, MSI P55 GD65, 2x2GB RAM DDR3 Corsair TW3XG1333C9DHX), Well the problem is that I'm getting freezing issues everytime (Sometime just surfing on internet, other times doing nothing at all) and sometimes BSOD. I check even log and all it said is "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
    Also, I tried to reinstall Win 7 but it froze on installation, I installed it on my third try.
    I ran Memtest86 with no errors, I check the temp on CPU, GPU, HD and they were normal.
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks for the help, I really need it :(

    If u mean how the voltage is set on those thing there it is:
    High vdrop----------------------------Low vdrop
    vcore - Auto (1.22500v)---------------1.30
    vtt - Auto (1.097v)--------------------1.22
    dram voltage- 1.600v-------------------1.65
    pll -Auto (1.800v)-----------------------1.85
    pch - Auto (1.050v)----------------------1.10
    Change those voltages to the onee's on the right.  Change your memory back to 1t, use the lower qpi setting, and 5x memory multiplyer.  I really believe its because your using a incorrect memory multiplyer.  With these voltages and a good cpu cooler you can run blk up to 180.  Let me know what happens.
    It's safe to do all this change?

  • 890FXA-GD70-Not Posting and Memory Issues

    Purchased new 890FXA-GD70 board over the weekend and I am having problems after new build. Board will not post with 2 stick of Corsair DDR3 4GB PC1600 in slots 1 and 2. I removed one stick in slot 2 and board posted. I installed all drivers and Win 7 pro and added the second stick into slot 2 and will not post again. I moved the 2GB stick to slot 3 and the computer boots and seems to run fine. Should'nt DDR3 be run in slots 1 and 2?
    System
    CPU-AMD Phenom II x4 945
    Motherboard-890FXA-GD70
    Memory-Corsair DDR3 4GB 2 sticks at 2GB each PC1600 Dual
    Video Card-EVGA GTS250 512MB
    Hard Drives-Western Digital Black Edition  500Gb
    OS-Windows 7 Professional
    Power Supply-Corsair 750

    After checking the boards and google search, it appears that several other people are having the same issue. If the memory sticks are placed in dimm1 and dimm3 the board seems to post and runs fine. But that will not produce dual channel memory. Should I change memory to another brand? What is the best memory for this board. The computer has been running all day and seems to be stable but, just worried that memory is still incorrect and only have 10 days to return to Frys. I have also flashed the bios to 1.6! It appears that after reading several other post on this forum, they had to return the board, could I have a bad board?

  • MSI P55 GD80 compatible with Intel COre i7 Extreme 965

    hye there, i just wanted to know is the new p55 GD80 fits with intel core i7 extreme 965??..
    as far as i concern, p55 mobo compatible with any i5 or i7 board, is that true.?

    The p55 stands for the chipset , so it's a p55 chipset and no x58 chipset ,.
    The p55 is only compatible with cori i5 and core i7 starting with 8... ( 860 , 870) it support only dual channel memory and not triple like the core i7 9... (920 , 940 , 950 965 ,975).
    The core i5 and core i7 860 ,870 has the pci-e controller integrated so you have only 1x16 or 2x 8x8  or 1x8 and 2x4 for triple sli in sli or crossfire. The core i7 9.... with x58 chipset have 2x 16 pci-e or 1x16 and 2x8 for triple sli , so for highend multi gpu's the x58 has a advantage and it has triple channel memory , but it is a small advantage.
    See here the socket  it support and if it has hyper-treathing or not.
    The core i5 750 has no hyper-treathing the core i 7 does, no matter what socket ( 1156 or 1366)

    Base line if you want a core i7 Bloomfield =920 ,940 , 950 , 975 or 965 you need a x58 chipset based motherboard.= socket 1366 = triple channel memory DDR3
    core i5 Lynnfield (4cores)750 /750s= p55 chipset = NO hyper-treathing=socket 1156=dual channel memory DDR3
    Core i7 Lynnfield (4 cores) 860 , 870 = p55 chipset = Hyper-treathing = socket 1156.=dual channel memory DDR3
    Core i5 clarkdale (2cores)= p55 chipset =  Hyper-treathing = socket 1156.=dual channel memory DDR3
    All have turbo mode except the Core i5 540,  Core i5 530 , Pentium G9650.
    Hope this will help.
